![]() ![]() ![]() The trilogy starts with the rescue of an innocent young boy, Takeo, who is persecuted by his adherence to the Hidden, a secret religion, hated by the warrior class. Nothing can compare to the brilliant omnipotence that flows through you as you read the prequel, detailing Lord Shigeru’s life before he meets the main character of the trilogy, Takeo. Despite the oddity, I would 100% recommend reading by order of publication (so the trilogy first: Across the Nightingale Floor, Grass for my Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon the sequel: The Harsh Cry of the Heron and finish with the prequel: Heaven’s Net is Wide). Set in a country styled on Japan, it’s a fantasy series that does not get the adoration it deserves. The Otori Series was a three story trilogy originally, with a sequel and prequel being released later. ![]() It might be odd to be reviewing a series that has sold millions of copies worldwide, but here in the UK at least, whenever I mention how incredible these books are, no one seems to have read them, which is an absolute travesty I now hope to resolve. ![]() I start my book reviews with, not just a single novel, but a 5-book epic. ![]()
